I'd say my first time doing Grace. I've always been naturally strong, so getting the weight up a lot wasn't the problem, but my metcon was really weak at the time. It was one of my first crossfit workouts off the couch, and I think I was at around 26 reps in 4 minutes. The last 4 reps were the hardest thing I've ever done. My heart literally almost exploded.
Haha, yeah. I just did those 30 reps again today with in-and-outs. Every rep felt easy, but the in-and-outs were a bitch! One more thing to work on, I guess.
Before this weekend I would have said Painstorm #XXI, but final workout at the Australasian Qualifiers was a 1200 metre sand dune run, with part of it steep enough to have to crawl up! I somehow managed 4th place with 12:26. Legs were on fire the whole time.
Thanks J. Yeah I've only been dreaming about those 65 seconds for the last few days! :)
It was the ring dips that let me down. Banged the first set out no problem. But dropped to broken sets for final 2 rounds. Then that affected my jerks (shouldn't have if my technique was better!). Went slower than I had in practice so not happy.

All CrossFit WODs always get me down on the floor!
